Erik Prestinary [costa rica]

A lot of influences that brought Erik Prestinary's attention to the electronic music scene came directly from where he lived in the last 10 years. Traveling between Costa Rica and Miami led him to discover the wonderful worlds of house music, progressive and tribal house. His love for this music would later lead to headline memorable parties such as Carl Cox and Steve Lawler.

Many influences run from local Miami scene names like George Acosta, David Padilla, Edgar V, Jasp 182 and much more. Also taking the opportunity that Miami was his home for sometime we must not forget that Digweed, Sasha, Nick Warren, Anthony Pappa, Deep Dish, Sander K and many more that continuously play clubs in the area influenced his style greatly. Deciding to buy a decent pair of turntables at the age of 20 he would later move on to Costa Rica and play out in local bars. His sound started off with trance to gradually shifting over to progressive and tribal house.

He started to play consistently in 2001 and by the end of the year he headlined a party along with Chris Fortier.

After a few years he joined Muzika Productions this led to the opportunity to play with industry heavy weights within this years Erik have shared the turntables with Chris Fortier, Moshic , Joeski and Onionz, Sean cusick, Mark Pappas, Hernan Cattaneo, Christopher Lawrence, Dj Dan, Stephan Luke, Charles Feelgood, Humate, Carl Cox, Steve Lawler, Gustavo Cerati's Roken project, James Lavelle, and Tall Paul.
